The 518th Fighter Aviation Regiment (Russian: 518-й истребительный авиационный полк; Military Unit Number 42192)[1] was a fighter aviation regiment of the Soviet Air Forces during World War II that became part of the Soviet Air Defence Forces after the end of the war.
The 518th fought in the Korean War during the final year of the conflict as part of the 64th Fighter Aviation Corps. It was relocated to provide air defense for Arkhangelsk after returning to the Soviet Union in 1953. It successively operated the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17, Tupolev Tu-128, and Mikoyan MiG-31 interceptors from Talagi before its 1998 disbandment during the reform of the Russian Air Defense Forces.
